Clementine has inherited her beloved late aunt's Manhattan apartment and, with it, a strange family secret: sometimes the apartment slips seven years into the past.
On one such slip she meets Iwan, a warm, ambitious aspiring chef who lives there in an earlier time, and against her grief-guarded better judgment she falls for a man separated from her by years she cannot cross.
Ashley Poston follows her bestselling The Dead Romantics with another tender magical-realist romance, using a light speculative conceit to explore mourning, the fear of moving on, and whether love glimpsed at the wrong moment can ever find its time. Poston writes soft, wistful, food-scented prose and lets the melancholy give the sweetness weight. It is a gentle, bittersweet love story more interested in feeling than in the mechanics of its time-slip.
For readers who want an emotional, atmospheric romance with a touch of the uncanny - grief and hope in equal measure - this best-of-2023 bestseller is a quietly lovely choice.
